Not In Your Face By Susan A. Barnett

Photography was an integral part of my family life with my father teaching me darkroom techniques and the fundamentals. Sunday night was a family night for slide shows instead of watching “Lassie”.
In college I studied photojournalism. I received a B.A. from Marymount College, Tarrytown, New York, in Studio Art and Art History. I interned at the Cloisters, the Medieval branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as a photo archivist. With that experience I landed a job at Perls Galleries on Madison Avenue where I worked for fifteen years as Associate Director. I handled Picasso, Braque, Modigliani, Leger and Matisse and prepared exhibitions and catalogues for Alexander Calder.
I was included in the "Big Picture" exhibition at P.S.1. My photographs were shown at Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago. I went back to school to study Graphic Design and computer based photography (early Photoshop) at the School of Visual Arts, New York where I studied with Milton Glaser and Paul Davis.
